CUSTOMER WINS/UPDATES FINANCIAL

Bytes Managed Solutions in South Africa and NCR have recently secured the following outstanding wins:

Nedbank has awarded their Cash Recycler project to NCR and partner Bytes Managed Solutions with a $2.2M order for NCR SelfServ 34 GBRU, NCR SelfServ 22 and 26 ATMs and core upgrade kits. This displaces Wincor yet again in a highly competitive and contested account. The order is the 1st part of Nedbank’s journey to convert their entire GBNA base to GBRU. Congratulations to the Bytes Account Management Team and the NCR South Africa team for their excellent work in this account, which remains 100% NCR.

ABSA has awarded NCR/Bytes Managed Solutions an order worth $5.1M for NCR SelfServ 34 BNA, SCPM ATMs and NCR SelfServ 25 ATMs, which forms part of another successful installment in their Technology refresh project. The project is on track and progressing at a great pace. Congratulations to the Bytes Account Management Team and the NCR South Africa team for their excellent work in maintaining this project and pace.

First National Bank (FNB) – Bytes Managed Solutions and NCR have secured a portion of FNB’s ATM Recycler business, which was previously 100% Diebold. The $1.5M order for NCR SelfServ 34 GBRU SCPM ATMs and GBRU Upgrade Kits is the first part of an onward Journey by NCR to capture 50% of this business from Diebold. Congratulations to the Bytes Account

Management Team and the NCR South Africa team for their excellent efforts and focus on driving this strategy to fruition. The NCR recycler has been dubbed “The Hero” by FNB technical staff and we are confident that our device will live up to its name.

NCR South Africa/BYTES Teams Continue their Successful March Together

CIMB Niaga is the fifth largest bank in Indonesia by assets, deposits, lending and branch distribution network.

CIMB Niaga started implementing the NCR SelfServ 31 compact freestanding lobby ATM machines in early 2010 during a pilot phase.

Realizing NCR SelfServ 31’s outstanding performance in less hardware failure rates, higher availability and higher transactions, back in June 2010, the bank decided to award NCR an order through Multipolar Technology (NCR authorized reseller) for 90 units, including also consultancy services.

Last September 2012, CIMB Niaga issued a new RFP, with Multipolar/NCR bidding again and recently winning the business, against fierce competition from Omron, for 100 x NCR SelfServ 31 deposit ATMs with 2ST, two-sided thermal receipt printing.

Congratulations to Yoice Erawaty and Ramses Sigallinging from NCR, as well as Multipolar Technology team for their great efforts and continued persistence in maintaining NCR dominant position in the account.

CUSTOMER WINS/UPDATES (cont.) FINANCIAL

ANZ in New Zealand has become the first customer in Asia Pacific to order NCR’s latest teller cash recycler solution, the Cash Recycler 11.

The bank has ordered 13 new units to add to its thirty earlier models (the 6610). The bank is consolidating its two banking brands (ANZ and National Bank) into one (ANZ), and the new units will be deployed in eight merged and re-branded branches from February next year.

As well as being a regional first, the win is significant because the Australian ANZ brand (and parent to ANZ NZ) has previously turned to Talaris, so there was some pressure on the Kiwi operation to follow suit.

However, the sales team convinced the Kiwis of the new model’s reliability, higher capacity and easier route to teller system integration with NCR Cash Connect. If the 6611 proves it stripes, there should be many more orders as a result.

Congratulations to Shaun Maloney (recently appointed account director, and this is his first sale!), Janene Faragher (PS), Anne Henry (deployment), Peter Corkery (former ANZ account director).

Multipolar’s Persistence Keeps Competition out of Bank Sumselbabel

Multipolar Technology and NCR teams’ efforts to maintain their dominant position in Bank Sumselbabel (BPD Sumsel) have paid off!!

Multipolar Technology has been working closely with the NCR Indonesian team to cover the local market and stop competition from penetrating BPD Sumsel; one of the biggest regional development banks, in its efforts to grow its ATM network and offer its customers an enhanced banking experience.

Multipolar Technology and NCR have responded to BPD Sumsel’s call and have worked together for the deployment of NCR SelfServ 34 drive-through ATMs, as well as a number of NCR Mobile ATMs.

Further determination by Multipolar and NCR to eradicate competition has positively resulted in securing an additional order recently from BPD Sumsel for the NCR SelfServ 22 ATMs, as well as NCR APTRA software.

Congratulations to Yustinus Qiu and Ramses Sigallinging (NCR channel sales), as well as Daniel Nugroho (Multipolar Technology sales) for their determination in being ahead of the game.

SCB in Pakistan Remains an NCR Stronhold Account

NCR Pakistan team has recently closed an order with Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) for 55 NCR SelfServ 22 ATMs.

Despite all the challenges and threats from WIN to get into this most prestigious account at any cost and the fact that customer did consider to introduce second vendor, Wajahat Bukhari (account manager) managed all the fronts including SCB IT and business teams most professionally, smartly and with superb relationship management, so as to ensure that SCB Pakistan remains an NCR stronghold account.

Congratulations to Wajahat Bukhari, as well as the local Services and PS teams for their extensive support.
